Unit Overview

The Progressive Care Unit is an 18-bed, high-acuity, fast-paced unit caring for patients who require a higher level of monitoring and intervention than a traditional telemetry unit but do not require ICU-level care. The typical nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:3, based on patient acuity. 

Patient turnover can be significant, with as much as three-quarters of the unit turning over within a 24-hour period. Candidates should therefore be comfortable working in a busy environment with frequent admissions, transfers, and patient downgrades. 

Patient Population & Clinical Experience

The PCU cares for a diverse, medically complex patient population. Nurses may care for patients including:

  • Post cardiac catheterization
  • Post myocardial infarction (MI)
  • Post cardiac stent placement
  • Post cardiac ablation
  • TAVR patients
  • Watchman procedure patients
  • Stable post-open-heart patients after line removal
  • Patients requiring transvenous pacemakers
  • Respiratory failure patients
  • Patients requiring BiPAP
  • Patients receiving insulin drips
  • Kidney and other organ failure patients
  • Patients experiencing alcohol or drug withdrawal

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is an experienced PCU RN who is comfortable managing high-acuity patients in a fast-moving environment. The nurse should be able to efficiently manage a 1:3 assignment while adapting to frequent admissions, transfers, and changes in patient status.
